``I wonder how Portaplayer stock would have gained in value had they kept their part in the I-Pod a secret.``
Portalplayer was a private company while under development for Apple....there was no problem dealing with ``over exuberant`` retail investors..
It was easy to keep everything in check...
The over ``over exuberance`` came at the time of Portalplayer IPO....where all the big shots where in place first....including Apple.
